Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College QB Chris Todd wanted to play his college ball for Tony Franklin. He thought he'd be doing that at Troy, where Franklin has led the Trojan offense the last two years.

He thought he'd be reunited with Franklin, who was a consultant to Elizabethtown High in 2003. He thought he'd be doing that at Troy.

Todd had even committed to Franklin and the Trojans, and appeared set to sign with Troy. But after the coach took the same position with Auburn a week ago, Todd's college destination has ended up an hour north.
